Starts Thursday!! I'll probably be watching on Saturday mornings or something, definitely not on original airdates, BUT I'M SO EXCITED FOR IT! One of my favorite shows, and certainly the only reality show I find worth watching every year.

so excited!! Oooh I forgot about Alex being allowed back. His routine with Twitch was amazing! I had the favorite dances episode saved on my DVR for a ridiculously long time so I could keep watching those dances before I finally ran out of room and deleted it. I actually enjoyed the all-star format from last season so I hope they do something similar to that again this time around.

Me too! Then I realized, oh, I can watch them on YouTube! But for a while, you couldn't watch the Twitch routine on there due to copyright stuff, so I kept it on my DVR... along with about 5 or 6 other episodes, but they take up a lot of room!

"We are not choosing the All-Stars until we see who is in that top 10," Nigel said, "like we're doing with the choreographers—to complement them."

I wonder who the all-stars are going to be? Do you think they'll have anyone from last season? I bet they have an idea of who they want to bring back, don't you think? The audience definitely has favorites, and that brings in ratings.

Mary is annoying sometimes, but she is really quite knowledgeable. I really missed her technical insights on the judging panel last season. It was a bit too "I thought that was nice" without her - I like that she really knows when people have worked hard to get the details right, and when they haven't.

I love this show so much! I started watching it when I was pregnant with Ruby & I will forever associate it with laying on the couch on hot summer nights with the windows open watching it and my belly move at the same time. I can't wait to be able to watch it when we get back!
